Easy enough to get to the one way bearing. On mine the spindle washers and clicker cog were tight, took a bit of working off the shaft.
Ideally you want a deep 12mm socket for the spindle nut, and it's a left hand thread.

Also its hard to hear the clutch " clicker " when a fish takes line especially when its windy/raining and your deaf in one ear !

I’m going to have a stab at taking the reel apart at some point and check what you mean about the grease build up. Hopefully, this may help the issue as they are a really good reel. Dodgy anti-reverse aside.

You can tie your line to something (with rod and reel) and put some tension on the line as you simulate playing a fish, then you should be able to replicate the slipping anti reverse pawl.
Many have mentioned a stiffer spring...
Im not sure that the internal mechanism on the okumas works the same way, but i serviced some of my old daiwa emblems and any grease on the anti reverse gear made it sticky and it wouldnt slide back (every time) to where it needs to be.

I don’t suppose I can test at home I take it needs to have some resistance how frustrating when it does not happen all the time it would be better if it did it all the time then you would know when it’s fixed I checked okuma offer a 5 year warranty

I only noticed an issue with one of my reels so far. Everything was fine, until I got to the latter stages of playing in a fish and whilst reeling in and gaining line, the back wind suddenly engaged. It doesn’t actually happen all of time. Just quite frustrating when it does.
I’ve tried to source some springs from eBay but couldn’t find any. Next step was an email to Okuma, not heard anything back as yet.
Future fishing have ordered me in some via Okuma, the part I’ve ordered from the reels part list is 801. There seems to be a few week wait on them though. I’m hopeful Okuma have made the springs into a thicker gauge. But, I can’t help think the same issue will occur down the line if the springs are a like for like replacement.

I don't think you can test them. The anti reverse either engages immediately, as it should, or at times allows some movement backwards, as if the anti reverse is not engaged.
I dissmantled mine, made sure all was clean and put a drop of very thin gun oil on the assembly. They appear to be working fine, but for how long I don't know.
Putting oil on might not be a good idea in the long run but thought I'd give it a try.
I'd be very interested in finding some suitable, stronger springs for mine. I know someone sourced some off ebay, but I wouldn't know what to go for.

I am still confused what the problem is can anyone explain how to test the reels

Hi, I’ve just started to have this exact same slipping issue with the anti reverse on the okuma inc 6000. On the off chance does anyone have any links and or suggestions for the type of heavier gauge wire springs to buy for the replacements.
Thanks for any help.

The intermittent issue (and its a big one to be fair) on the anti-reverse is that the spring they chose to pull the catch back in is simply not good/strong enough, if you are able to replace it with a stronger spring then it is actually an easy and permanent fix. Requires a bit of taking apart to get to it but I managed. I got some springs from ebay that were much better for a couple of quid. Good reels otherwise but this seems a step too far for me to make something fucntion as it should.

You can swap the handle over to suit your needs in a few seconds.

I’ve just sold a set of these - the guy that has bought them is saying that the handle is not switchable he’s l/h - is this true?
